I remember a request for a 6th form forum a while back. I am guessing we didn't get it. Or is it hiding somewhere.

Hi Gail,

 I started a thread a while back.  A Sixth Form strand would be really helpful, particularly with the massive Curriculum changes and expansion of Post 16 education.  

 Remember, Sixth Forms are not just about A-levels - we need to discuss issues such as Enrichment, diplomas, extended projects, community service, vertical tutoring, dealing with difficult students, developing subject teaching to include Afl, PTLS, UCAS, personal statements, emptional issues, how to structure a Sixth Form, OFSTEd  etc etc.

What I'm trying to say is that Sixth Form issues are not always the same as other strands e.g. Secondary.   

 Sixth Forms across the country are bulging at the seams - I think you would get quite a bit of forum post if you offered it.

 Thanks,

Love, Ferris  

 Thanks for your reply Gail. I'm sure people would be keen to have one.

Tessers, please put a comment on this thread if you would like a 6th form forum.

Thanks

I work in a Sixth Form College and it would be great to have a forum specifically for discussing post-16 issues.

 I teach mainly sixth form, IB and A level - I would like somewhere to discuss the wider issues of sixth form teaching and mentoring.
